keeping, says: II mothers could only
realize what a critical period their
children are passing through from the
third to the sixth year, they would exer-
else more ordinary care during that time.
Not only physically but mentally and
morally are they undergoing a change; a
change for better or worse, according to
the care and attention they receive from
their mothers and fathers.s A father is
no more exempt from certain duties
towards his offspring than the mother.
He should always bear in mind that his
| assistance in the control of the children
| is of more value to his tired wife than
| the presentation to her, Of costly gift
/ II is at this time that children begin to
notice paps's and mammals bearing
| towards one another; let this
always be one of perfect courtesy
and respect. Nothing 80 quickly
destroys respect for parents as constant
pickering in the presence of their chill
dren. The first thing child should be
taught is respect for his parents aud
elders affection comes naturally with
most children and is the most valuable
aid in gaining coStrol OF their actions
next 10 that is respect, without 1t very
very little can be accomplished for the
child's welfare Parents should bear this
in mind that children lose respect very
soon upon hearing them di agree; using
bitter cutting words 10 each other. Thit
is iufieting the first actual pain these
baby hearts have been called upon tc
bear. In the presence of this the child
experiences conflicting emotions, whicl
ends in pity for one parent and contempt
for the other. Oh, parent, pause, con
slider before you lose this hold on th,
little being who has heretofore considered
you perfect. Let there be unanimity o
purpose in act, word and deed befor'

"Bet you a dollar l can make that
horse laugh" said man with white hat,
as he petted demure- looking beast on
the flank.
'iDoes the horse know you /" ask sad
eyed man, to whom the challenge was ad-
dressed.
"Neyer saw him before in my life."
sis he the same as any other horse 2"
"Just the same, so far as can see."
"Well, I'll have to 60 you q dollar for
luck"
The man with the white hat passed his
hand over the nostrils OF beast and then
stepped back upon the sidewalk A
moment later the eyes of the horse began
to roll and then his upper lip shrivelled
up so high that seven teeth sprlng into
view.
''See him laugh" yelled the man with
the white hat as he danced Lancashire
step on the tagging. Tears leaped to the
heavy and fast as he lifted his head into
the air and uttered ahoarse guffaw.
"Give me the money; ! win the bet,
exclaimed the man with the white hat
| amid series of wheezas and snoIts from
the laughing beast. The sad .eytd maj

One of the results of the restoration Of
party government in Brooklyn is indicated
in the presentment handed up in the
court Of sessions ny the grand jury,
From tAis ii appears thai Democratic
politicians who hold high official positions
are at the same time interested in electric
light and telephone companies and en-.
gagged in sacrificing the public interests
to serve those of the corporations. The
principal offender seems to be the chiet
of the fire department, who is charged
with using his official authority to enable
companies owning electric wires, in which
he is personally interested, to erect pole
and string wires overhead in evasion o
the law requiring them to be placed unde
grouud. The park commissioners ANT
the common council are also condemned
the subway commission is accused o
dilatory and inefficient action, and tn
mayor is incidentally reflected upon a
shielding official corruption. The pen
atty for departure from the sound priu
ciples of municipal government estat
lished under Mayor Low was sure to come
and the people of Brooklyn have onl
themselves to blame for the disgracefr
condition of affairs.
